Spot of Spring

Sunflower Love Song Print @ LiPeony

Oh you weather fiend... after months of coldness and snowstorms we just got a touch of Spring and right around Valentine's day so that's pretty awesome! I visited the Philadelphia Art Museum... yes the place where Rocky ran up those steps. The building itself was beautiful and the art inside was gorgeous. My favorite ones were the rooms modeled after Japanese Tea Houses, various temples and fountains from around the world. I also got to view some wonderful Monet pieces. If you are going to go every first Sunday is "Pay what you want" so I suggest going then as normally it's around $12 for student and more for non students. They do have a free coat check which is very appreciated. I still love the Met at NYC. hehe.

Until next time... visited any cool museums lately or anywhere during this break of wonderful Spring like weather?

The weather hasn't been too bad over here, and last month I went to visit the Tutankhamun exhibition and this month I went to see the Alexander the Great one, both pretty cool!

Alas, no spring weather break here! It was -16C (about 3F, I think?) here when I walked home last night. Brrrr! It's gorgeous though, with clear skies and white snow; just really cold!

I've been to the Philadelphia museum several times. It's wonderful. A day trip to Dia Deacon is a fun trip. I love the Cloisters as well. Sitting in their garden areas is so peaceful and relaxing.

Glad you had some warm weather!
